Obviously, in the short term luck can prevail. But mathematics and probability always win out in the long run. If you play long enough, skill far outweighs luck when it comes to poker.
No matter how skillful you are, there are going to be bad beats, and you are going to get your pocket aces cracked. But, if you understand the game, and the odds, in the long run skilled players will always make money.
Like Mike said in Rounders, "Why do the same 8 guys make it to the final table at the World Series of Poker every year? What are they, the luckiest guys in the world? It's a skill game!"
